Higher-Order Cognitive Functions in Adulthood 1. Executive Functioning and Term Limits. What is executive functioning and how does it fare in adulthood? Given its importance in complex decision-making and problem-solving, do you think there should be “term limits” for individuals in key decision-making roles such as political, religious, or business leaders? Should there be mandatory intelligence testing of these individuals every few years as a condition of staying in the role? Why or why not? Using the key concepts from this chapter, explain your view. 2. Adult Learners at Work.

Units 5 and 6 have been devoted to understanding cognitive development. Understanding the cognitive changes that occur from infancy through adolescence can help parents and educators create a supportive and nurturing environment that aligns with their child’s needs. For this assignment, imagine that you have been asked to provide an overview to parents and educators of cognitive development changes that can occur during the four periods of development - infancy/toddlerhood, early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence. Various cognitive theories (Piaget’s theory, information processing perspective, and Vygotsky’s theory) will be considered and you will complete a PowerPoint presentation to present this overview. Piagetian concepts, information processing concepts, and language development should be used to highlight cognitive attainments at each period of development. The role of social interactions and culture in cognitive development, with some reference to Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory, will also be considered and ways adults can promote cognitive development at each period of development should be discussed. Presenter notes should be used to supplement the information on the slides.

Often the same event (pregnancy, birth control, sexual activity) is responded to very differently depending on individual characteristics. Please keep your answer short, 2 paragraphs maximum. Do not use AI or plagiarize to form your answer. Consider the following: What messages do you think adolescent boys and girls get about their roles and responsibilities when it comes to sex? Pregnancy? Birth Control? Parenthood? Do you think there's a double standard? Why do parents treat sons and daughters differently? Do you think society treats teen parents differently than older parents are treated? Why or why not? How are the lives of teen versus older parents similar or different?

Purpose The purpose of each written assignment option is to focus your attention on concepts that the instructor feels are particularly significant in each chapter, to enable you integrate and apply your knowledge, and to help you to think critically about issues in adolescent psychology.

Written Assignment 1: Option 1 Chapters  8 and 9  discuss adolescence as a period in which relationships are constantly in a state of change as the adolescent explores worlds of family, peers, and school.  Chapter 10 focuses on the emerging importance of the adolescent peer group and peer roles and relationships.   Santrock describes the “Developmental Construction of Relationships,” the interaction of family and peer relationships,  and the role of parents, siblings, and families in adolescent development.  As groups change, the adolescent gains experience and confidence in a variety of roles.  Friendships play a critical role in providing support and shaping the development of the capacity for intimacy.  However, today technology and isolation also play a role in shaping adolescent relationships.  The video, American Adolescence warns that teens today are experiencing substantial unsupervised time, and are exposed to information and choices that in previous generations was delayed until much later in early adulthood.   Answer the following questions:    1    How do adolescent and parent changes influence the nature of relationships?  Discuss how the adolescent shapes and is shaped by family experiences (reciprocal socialization and synchrony).      2    Describe how peer interactions and groups change between childhood and adolescence.       3    How does the adolescent’s need for attachment and quest for autonomy influence the relationship with parents and family?  How do friendships provide a foundation for interpersonal relationships and an emerging capacity for intimacy?      4    What is the role of adolescent groups and youth organizations?  How can youth organizations enhance self esteem and develop interpersonal skills?       5    How has unsupervised time involved in television, videos, and computer games changed peer relationships?   How can parents more effectively monitor the activities of their adolescents?     6     In your own experience, how did family member contact and time spent with family, siblings, and peers change between childhood and adolescence? Written Assignment 1: Option 2 In Chapter 10 Santrock explores some of the functions of school, transitions students make between elementary, middle, and high school, and several approaches to improving adolescent education. The video, Disappearing Dropouts; PBS/Online NewsHour, November 30, 2004  suggests that there is an increasing number of dropouts as an unintended consequence of current national policy.  These links which focus on content from Chapter 10:  “Teaching and Learning (https://web.archive.org/web/20201109215807/https://www.nde-ed.org/TeachingResources/ClassroomTips/Constructivist%20_Learning.htm),”  “APA's 20 Principles for Pre-K to 12 Education (https://www.apa.org/ed/schools/teaching-learning/principles/index),” and Parental involvement (http://web.archive.org/web/20181130141612/https://www.nea.org/tools/tips/parent-involvement.htm) may help you with your writing assignment. Answer the following questions:    1    Why has the back-to-basics movement of the 80s gained so much momentum?  How has the pendulum shifted in emphasis and function of schools?  What kind of changes in social policy might improve the environment of learning?     2    What is “constructivist teaching?”  Compare the direct instruction and constructivist approaches to instruction.    3    Explain how becoming “learner focused” might improve instructional design.    4    What is the role of technology in the classroom and how is it changing learning?     5    What is the difference between junior high school and the middle school, and why did they emerge as separate schools between the elementary school and the high school?       6    How does the social environment change during the transitions between elementary school, middle (or junior high) school, high school, and college?   Do these transitions facilitate or hinder adolescent development and adjustment?  Would eliminating the middle (or junior high) school improve or hinder adjustment?  Explain.    7    How can we encourage parents to become more involved with our schools?      8    Are our kids overworked, over scheduled, and over stressed at school and home?
